All Reviews for Churaumi Aquarium

The tour guide was awful she only spoke in Japanese which I was told by hotel they should all speak Japanese, English and Chinese. We stopped off at 1 place which was not on the guide. The audio equipment did not work in the coach some people were given it some didn’t get it. If she wanted to communicate she just held a piece of paper with what she wanted us to do. She kept singing in Japanese and no one had a clue what the song was about. I would certainly not recommend her as a tour guide or even recommend this company. 100% unhappy customer.

Unfortunately, it was rainy on the day of the tour, so the scenery wasn't very good. The guide was someone who could speak three languages. The tour was long, so I got tired. Maybe it would have been better to just visit the Churaumi Aquarium.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたので景色はあまり良くなかったです。ガイドの方は3カ国も喋れる方でした。ツアー時間が長かったので疲れました。美ら海水族館だけで良かったかも。

It was great to feel and see the beauty of Okinawa, and the way the tour guide spoke was easy to understand, which was also good. I have used VELTRA multiple times, and the staff members are the best.

沖縄の良さを感じ見る事良かったし添乗員さんの話し方が聞き取りやすく
良かったです
VELTRAは何度も利用していて
STAFFの方々最高です

The veteran bus guide was very good. Not only did they provide various explanations about Okinawa, but they also sang some famous Okinawan songs, making the journey a lot of fun. The bus interior was clean and comfortable.

Originally, I planned to drive around with a rental car, but due to the forecast of rain, I canceled the rental and booked this instead. It was the right choice to go with this option, as we were able to efficiently tour even in the rain.

It was a pity that we couldn't see the fields at Pineapple Park because it was out of season. I also regretted not being able to ride the cart due to the limited time for the visit, and I missed out on having meals like pineapple pizza. (However, it was nice that we could choose souvenirs after tasting.)

ベテランのバスガイドさん、とても良かったです。観光スポットだけでなく、沖縄にまつわる様々な説明や、沖縄の有名な歌も、いくつか歌っていただき、道中とても楽しかったです。
バス車内も綺麗で快適でした。
もともとは、レンタカーで周る予定が、雨の予報だったため、レンタカーをキャンセルして、こちらを申込みました。雨でも効率よく周れて正解でした。
パイナップルパークは、季節外れのため、畑が見れなかったのが残念でした。
見学時間に余裕がなく、カートに乗れなかったのと、パイナップルピザ等の食事が出来なかったのも心残りでした。(試食をしてからお土産を選べるのはよかった)

If you're going to the Churaumi Aquarium, this is the best choice. In this class, there are often additional charges for admission, but this price includes everything. At the Kouri Bridge, we were able to see sea turtles.

美ら海水族館に行くなら1番。このクラスだと、入場券別が多いが、込みでこの価格。古宇利大橋では、ウミカメにあえました。

There was a long line even to enter, and the inside was quite crowded. Since time was limited, I just took a quick look around and that was it. It's located away from the city center, and while you can get there by bus, I only recommend it to those who can plan their schedule with some flexibility. This was my third time in Okinawa, and I thought about visiting the famous Churaumi Aquarium at least once, but now I'm feeling like once more would be enough.

入場までも並び、館内もかなりの混雑。
時間が限られていたこともあり、ざーっと見ただけで終わってしまいました。
中心部から離れており、バスでは行けますが、余裕を持ったスケジュールが組める人にのみお勧めします。
沖縄は3回目で、一度くらい、かの有名な美ら海水族館へと思いましたが、もう一度でいいかなと言う感じです。

Since it was forecasted to rain, the day trip tour by bus was excellent. I was able to visit various places and I am very satisfied! The time management was also good, and I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

雨の予報だったのでバスで日帰りツアーは最高でした。色んな所へ行けてとても満足しています！時間配分的にも良くてまた機会があれば利用したいと思っています。

It was a tour that focused on the Churaumi Aquarium and visited several sightseeing spots. Since it was my first tour and I had a guide for the whole day, I was able to enjoy sightseeing safely. The journey was by bus, so I could enjoy the scenery and check out souvenirs to buy, making good use of my time. On the way back, there was traffic, but I got tired and fell asleep, so I returned safely.

美ら海水族館メインで観光スポットを数カ所巡るツアーでした。
初ツアーで1日の案内して頂けたので安全に観光出来ました。
バスの中での旅でしたので景色を楽しんだり購入するお土産の確認したり時間を有意義に使えました。
帰りは渋滞でしたが疲れて寝てしまい安全に帰れました。

I'm glad I was able to visit popular spots that are difficult to reach without a car in a compact one-day trip. Additionally, I was lucky to book at a great price during the Black Friday sale.

The Churaumi Aquarium is spacious with many attractions, and it took a lot of time just to travel back and forth from the bus parking lot. Even while eating the lunch I brought, I didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the exhibits.

Similarly, the American Village also had a distant bus parking lot, and I only had time to walk around and see the exterior of the buildings, which was disappointing as I couldn't go into the shops and relax.

The guide warned us, "If you miss the meeting time at each spot, you'll have to make your own way to the next sightseeing location," which made the participants gather quickly, causing the tour schedule to move ahead significantly. I would have appreciated it if we could have extended our stay at the American Village to the originally planned time.

車がないと行きにくい人気スポットを１日でコンパクトに回れて良かったです。
更に今回はブラックフライデーセールでお得価格で予約できてラッキーでした。
美ら海水族館は広くて見所が多く、バス駐車場からの往復移動にも時間がかかり、持参した昼食を食べながらの見学でも時間が足りませんでした。
アメリカンビレッジも同様にバス駐車場が遠く、建物外観を一通り見て回るくらいでお店に入ってゆっくりする時間がなく残念でした。
ガイドさんから「各スポットの集合時間に間に合わなかった人は自力で次の観光地点まで移動してください」と脅されていたこともあり参加者の集合が早くツアースケジュールがかなり前倒しで進んでいたので、最後のアメリカンビレッジ滞在を本来の予定時間まで延ばしてもらえるとありがたかったです。

Since I didn't rent a car, I decided to sign up for this tour. Although I encountered traffic on the way back, I was glad that I didn't have to drive myself, which made it less tiring. The staff who accompanied us took photos, and the driver was very pleasant, which made the experience really enjoyable.

レンタカーを借りなかったので、こちらのツアーに申し込みさせてもらいました。帰り道は渋滞にあいましたが、自分で運転することを考えたら疲れずに済んで良かったです。同行したスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、運転手さんも感じのいい方で、とても良かったです。

Just before my trip, the rainy season started, and I was worried about the continuous rain forecast for Okinawa. However, thanks to this bus tour, I had a very fulfilling day.

We visited the Churaumi Aquarium and a pineapple farm, and along the way, we bought souvenirs and enjoyed delicious food. Although we couldn't see the blue sky, the ocean in Okinawa was still clear and blue even in the rain, which was truly moving.

I was very happy to visit Emerald Beach again, a place I had wanted to return to since my last visit eight years ago. The guide's stories and songs were soothing, and the bus was very comfortable. On the way back, I listened to the song "Shimanchu nu Takara" sung by the guide.

I highly recommend this tour for those without a rental car. It was very comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful day!

旅行直前に梅雨に入ってしまい、連日雨予報の沖縄、楽しめるか心配でしたが
こちらのバスツアーのおかげでとても充実した1日になりました。
美ら海水族館や、パイナップル園などはもちろん、途中途中でお土産を買ったり美味しいものを買って食べたり。青空は見えませんでしたが沖縄の海は雨でも透き通っていて青くて、感動しました。
8年前に訪れてまた行きたいなと思っていたエメラルドビーチにまた行けて私はとても嬉しかったです。ガイドさんのお話もお歌も癒されましたし居心地のいいバスでした。帰りの飛行機はガイドさんが歌われた島人の宝を聞いて帰りましたよ。
レンタカーの無い方はおすすめです。とても快適です。
素敵な一日をありがとうございました！！

Thanks to our guide, Mr. Kiyane, who shared interesting trivia, and our driver, Mr. Maeda, who drove safely and securely, we were able to enjoyably visit various places in a condensed manner. I would like to use this service again on other routes. Thank you very much.

豆知識を教えてくださる添乗員の喜屋武さん、安心安全運転のドライバーの真栄田さんのおふたりのおかげでいろんな場所を凝縮して楽しくまわることができました。また他のルートでも利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

The host does not speak English and the headset does not work so I did not know what’s really happening while I was on the bus. I used the Google translator and helped me little bit.

The guide consulted with the driver and flexibly handled the itinerary and restroom breaks, allowing us to enjoy a stress-free and fun time! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんが、運転士さんと相談して、行程やトイレ休憩など臨機応変に対処して下さり、何のストレスもなく、ただ楽しい時間を過ごせました！本当にありがとうございました。

I used the bus tour that I relied on during my first trip to Okinawa and Hokkaido again. As a result, it was great. I had planned to visit the Churaumi Aquarium since I already knew about it, but I had no idea about American Village, Kouri Island, or Manza Beach, so it was definitely the right choice to use the tour.

I believe the tour guide was from Korea and China, and I was impressed by how well they managed in an unfamiliar country. Their Japanese was very good, but it seemed there were times when communication was challenging, so it must be a tough job. It was a fun and worthwhile tour that matched the price. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄、北海道旅行の際に頼ったバスツアーをまた利用しました。
結果、大変良かったです。美ら海水族館は知ってたから行こうとは思ってたものの、アメリカンビレッジ・古宇利島・万座毛のことは全く知らなかったので利用して正解でした。

添乗員さんは韓国と中国の方だったと思いますが、慣れない国でよく頑張っていらっしゃるなあと感心しました。日本語もとてもお上手でしたがやはり上手くやり取りできない事もあるようで大変なお仕事と思います。
金額に見合ったお得で楽しいツアーでした。有難う御座いました。

The guide spoke about historical sites, military bases, and the current situation in Okinawa from a natural standpoint, without imposing their views. Although the bus ride was long, I had a great time.

史跡のこと基地のこと沖縄の現状等、ガイドさんはナチュラルな立場で考えを押し付けることなく話してくれていたように感じました。バスの乗車時間が長かったですが良い時間が過ごせました。

The sight of the whale shark swimming gracefully in the vast aquarium tank is breathtaking. There was also a wonderful dolphin show that I enjoyed.

膨大な水族館の水槽で、悠々と泳ぐジンベイザメの姿は圧巻です。
素晴らしいイルカショウもあり楽しめました。

I enjoyed the great outdoors by strolling along the sandy beach with a clear view of Ie Island after passing through the Fukugi tree-lined path in Bise. At the Tropical Dream Center, I was able to experience not only the orchid flowers but also the Okinawan butterfly, baobab trees, jade vine, and various tropical fruit trees, making it a valuable experience and time shared.

備瀬のフクギ並木を抜けて、伊江島を望む透明な海の砂浜を散策して大自然を満喫しました。熱帯ドリームセンターではランの花はもちろん、オオゴマダラ・バオバブの木・ヒスイカズラ、熱帯の果樹の数々にふれることができて、貴重な体験・時間を共有することが出来ました。

The QR code is displayed immediately after purchasing the ticket, so it was convenient to buy it while in the car on the way there.

And indeed, there aren't many aquariums of this scale, and watching the gentle swimming of the whale sharks is very soothing.

It was a weekday afternoon in early April, but it was still quite crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the other tanks leisurely. I also wish something could be done about the large bags carried by foreign visitors. There were several moments where I felt it was dangerous due to the dark and narrow passages.

チケット購入後即時QRが表示されるので、向かう車の中で購入できて便利でした。

そしてやはりこの規模の水槽は他にはあまりなく、ジンベイザメのゆったりとした泳ぎを見ていると癒されます。

4月上旬平日の昼間でしたが普通にしっかり混んでいて、他の水槽はゆったりとは見れません。大荷物の外国人もどうにかしてほしい。暗くて通路が狭いところもあるので危ないと感じる場面が何度かありました

I wanted to visit Churaumi and American Village, so I chose this tour. It efficiently covers other tourist spots in Okinawa, and since it's a bus tour, traveling is quite easy!

Regarding American Village, the time for shopping and dining is a bit short, but there is an option to get off at American Village, which allows for some flexibility.

At the morning meeting point, there was a note to look for the bus, and it described the bus's features, but the bus that arrived was completely different (the description mentioned a white bus, but the one that came was blue). There were many other sightseeing buses parked in the area, and this mistake had a significant impact; there was a possibility that I might not have been able to board the bus at all. Other participants were also confused, saying, "Wait, this isn't the bus we were told about..."

Because of this, I deducted one star.

美ら海やアメリカンビレッジに行きたく、こちらのツアーを選びました。
他にも沖縄の観光地を効率的に回れ、なによりバスツアーなので移動が楽ちん！
アメリカンビレッジについては買い物や食事をするには時間が短めですが、アメリカンビレッジで下車という選択肢もあるので多少自由度もあるかなと思います。

朝の集合時はバスを目印にするよう記載がありバスの特徴も書いてありましたが、来たのは全然違うバスでした（書いてあったのは白いバス、実際に来たのは青いバス）。他にも観光バスが多く停車している場所で、このミスは影響が大きく、場合によってはバスに乗れなかった可能性もあります。他の参加者も「え、聞いてたバスと違う…」と戸惑っていました。
そのため星一つ減らしました。

I was able to visit the attractions without wasting time, and I am very satisfied. The time management was perfect as well. The guide explained everything very clearly, and it was a lot of fun.

無駄なく名所を回れて　とても満足してます　時間配分もバッチリでした
ガイドさんもとてもわかりやすく説明してくれて　とても楽しかったです

Overall, it was a packed schedule, so there wasn't much time, but the guide was wonderful, explaining everything in detail. She was a Korean sister, and I felt like cheering her on as she worked hard to speak Japanese.

全体的にぎゅっとしたプランなので、時間はありませんが、ガイドのお姉さんが丁寧に色々説明していて素敵でした。韓国オンニでしたが、一生懸命日本語を話してて応援したくなりました。

I was able to fully enjoy the essence of Okinawa in just one day! Everywhere was so appealing that I ran out of time, so next time I want to take plenty of time to explore the key spots. This time, the driver and the tour guide were both very nice people, which made the experience even more enjoyable! Thank you!

1日で沖縄らしさを満喫出来ました！どこも魅力的で滞在時間が足りなくなってしまったので、次は要所要所にたっぷり時間をかけて見て回りたいと思います。
今回は運転手さん並びに添乗員さんがとても良い人柄でより楽しめました！ありがとうございました！

I spent a day exploring the northern part of Okinawa, and although we couldn't spend much time at each location, it was enjoyable. However, it was unfortunate that we couldn't have lunch due to the limited time at the tourist spots. I had heard comments suggesting that it would have been better to buy rice balls and drinks to eat on the bus, and I wish I had done that.

沖縄北部を1日かけて、観光できるため、個々の場所が時間かけれないけど楽しかったです。
ですが、観光地で限られた時間のため、昼食は取れないのが、残念でした。おむすびと飲み物を買ってからバスで食べる方が良いとコメントがあったため、そのようにすれば良かったな。

I was actually worried that I might not have enough time or that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because I was tired, but the bus guide was kind and made the departure times easy to understand and very helpful!

実際時間足りないかも、とか疲れてて楽しめないかなって思ってたけど
バスガイドさん優しくて出発時刻とかも分かりやすくて親切だった！

It was very good. I understood the meeting place, but the vehicle on the day was not the Celulian Blue-wrapped bus that was mentioned as a landmark. The guide was calling out the names of the participants, but their voices were mostly drowned out by the noise of passing cars, which caused a delay in the participants' responses and made the gathering take longer than expected. The tour went smoothly, but there were some people who were late each time for the meeting. The guide was very kind and always had a lovely smile. The driver also drove safely, and I truly appreciate their hard work. It was a great trip. If I have the opportunity again, I will definitely use your services. Thank you very much.

とても良かったです。集合場所は分かりましたが当日の車両が、目印と書いてあった、セルリアンブルーさんのラッピングバスではなかったのと、ガイドさんはずっと参加者の名前を呼んでくれていましたが、通行している車の音にかき消されて、ほとんど聞こえなかったため参加者の反応が遅れ、集合に時間が掛かったように思います。ツアーは順調でしたが、集合時間に毎回遅れる方がいました。ガイドさんはとても親切で、いつも笑顔で素敵でした。ドライバーさんも安全運転で本当にお疲れ様でした。良い旅行になりました。また機会がありましたら利用させて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。

I wanted to go to the Churaumi Aquarium, but since renting a car would be a waste for just one person, I joined a bus tour. The whale sharks at the Churaumi Aquarium were amazing. At the café in front of the aquarium, you can enjoy a meal while watching the fish. I also opted for the steak full course, which was delicious.

美ら海水族館に行きたかったのですが、レンタカーは一人だともったいないのでバスツアーに参加しました。美ら海水族館のジンベイサメは素晴らしかったです。水槽の前のカフェでは食事しながら魚がみれます。またステーキフルコース付きにしたので美味しかったです。

I'm glad I was taken to the Churaumi Aquarium and Manzamo, which are difficult to reach without a car. The Pineapple Park was also larger than I expected, and I had a great time there.

車がないと行きづらい美ら海水族館や万座毛に連れて行ってもらえて良かったです。
パイナップルパークも思っていたより広くて楽しめました。

I visited the Churaumi Aquarium again because I went there 30 years ago. It was crowded with families. The Ocean Expo Park, where the Churaumi Aquarium is located, is spacious. Since the time allocated for the aquarium is about 140 minutes, it's a good idea to consider your time management while walking around. Manzamo was well-maintained along the route. Nago Pineapple Park was filled with many interesting sculptures, which was enjoyable. Since lunch is not included in the course, I think it's a good idea to bring something like rice balls. The dining places and food trucks at tourist spots were very crowded, and there wasn't enough time to eat. I bought rice balls at a convenience store and brought them with me. I participated in a plan that included a barbecue dinner. They cooked it right in front of me, and it was delicious.

30年前に美ら海水族館に行ったので、また行こうと思い美ら海水族館行きました。家族連れでいっぱいでした。美ら海水族館のある海洋博公園は広いです。美ら海水族館持ち時間140分位ですので時間配分を考慮して歩くと良いです。万座毛は順路が整備されてました。名護パイナップルパークはオブジェがいっぱいで楽しめました。昼食がコ−スに含まれて無いので、おにぎり等を持参すると良いと思います。観光地の食堂、キッチンカ−等は人がいっぱいで食べる時間有りません。私はおにぎりをコンビニで買い持って行きました。夕食焼肉ディナ-付プランで参加しました。目の前で焼いてくれて、美味しくいただきました。

Just the two of us, my son and I. Since I was anxious about driving a rental car myself, I looked for a bus tour and chose this course because I wanted to visit various places. There were many tourists from overseas participating as well, but no one spoke loudly on the bus, allowing us to relax in a quiet atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

息子と2人。レンタカーで自分で運転するのも不安だったためバスツアーを探し、色々回りたかった私はこのコースを選びました。
海外からの観光客の方もたくさん参加していらっしゃいましたが、バスの中で大きな声で話すこともなく、静かな車内でゆったり出来ました。
いい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。
